Following God's Leading

Over the last few months God has opened the door for my family to step out of youth ministry and step into a senior pastor position. In February we headed down to Iowa to check out the church and then we were back again at the beginning of April. The decision is not an easy one to make. Our family has truly been blessed being here is the norther part of Wisconsin the last 4 years. We have a great church, great friends, nice house things here are comfortable and fun but when God calls you somewhere you go even when it might not make sense or be easy- step out in FAITH- Put my trust in HIM!

One hard aspect is obviously saying good-bye to many great friends we have made here. The other part is selling our house we just bought a year ago. I love our house here but I know the plans that God has for my family are calling us to move.

Last night I needed to share my heart regarding us leaving at church. It of course ended in many tears but I do have peace from God regarding the move...even with all the hard goodbyes.

At nap time yesterday I read my kids "The Prayer of Jabez." The prayer is such a great one and is one that I know I have said for myself a few times in the last year.

God is enlarging our territory and I know He has some big plans for this family and it is exciting to see it unfold.

I may have had my moments of not wanting to go- purely selfish reason I am fully putting my trust in GOD. I know this move is going to turn into a big blessing! I WILL TRUST HIM!

With that being said I have a praise report I must share right away. We listed our house a two Tuesday's ago. We immediately had lots of showings and within one week of it going on the Market we had two offers. This last Thursday we signed papers for accepting and offer. We close on our house at the end of May. GOD is our provider and he is taking care of all our needs and taking away my stress. AMEN

I would love to ask for prayers as we continue to transition to our new place in Iowa. THANK-YOU

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
